The week in entertainment

Film: Ponyo (Gake no ue no Ponyo) - Miyazaki-sensei's latest movie isn't aimed at little kids, but if you have some, take 'em. Judging by the audience I was in, they'll love it. You will, too - Ponyo genuinely appeals to everyone, in a magical experience I can't speak too highly of. The underwater scenes - the riding in the boat and looking into the water scenes - the storm scenes: all the water scenes! so beautiful. The story is both accessible and engaging - he had me on the edge of my seat several times. It's a wonderful movie.

DVD: Some more Remember WENN, and the rest of The Fantastic Journey (too bad it was so short). Race to Witch Mountain - and I love that they got in a Winnebago! Dwayne Johnson has become quite an engaging action star, too.

TV: Leverage - hey, it wasn't about hedge funds or evil bankers! Warehouse 13 - great. A Nemesis for Artie. It's Roger Rees, so there's potential there. Psych - funny still.

Read: Finished Get Real. It's as if he knew it would be his last one: Dortmunder makes money from a theft! Started Hazards, the new Lucifer Jones from Mike Resnick, who can write just about anything, can't he?
